The Wine Cork Painting

Well
if one can create art out of bottle-caps I don’t see why corks can’t be
used for the same purpose? It seems Albanian artist Saimir Strati feels
the same way, since he has taken on the challenge of creating a 3D
painting out of 300,000 wine-bottle corks. What you see in the photos is
not the completed project, upon completion it will be a 96 square meter
masterpiece depicting people playing guitar.This is not Strati’s first
unusual artwork, in the past he has gained a spot in theGuinness Boook
of Records for the world’s largest toothpick mosaic in the world. It
contained approximately 1 million toothpicks and it depicted some
horses. So be on the look out for Saimir Strati, he’s one special
artist.
